CSD Financing Workshop: “Innovative Financial Schemes for Supporting Citizen-Driven Decentralised RES Projects in Europe”
On 24 June 2021, the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD) organised an international online workshop to present the research and policy findings from the implementation of the Consumer Stock Ownership Plan (CSOP) as part of the SCORE project. The speakers shared lessons learned from SCORE. They discussed the development of adequate financial tools and the question of how to work with the regulatory framework on a national level in similar projects. Another topic was the implementation and possibilities of the CSOP model, the role of municipalities and the importance of certain mechanisms to engage citizens.
